International Travel Countdown

Traveling abroad is always an exciting time. Whether it’s your first trip or your twentieth, there’s a lot of planning that’s required beforehand. This checklist will help you with the preparation, allowing for a stress-free trip.

Six Months Before:

Prepare Documents

Get your passports and other necessary travel documents well in advance.

If you already have a passport, be mindful of the expiration date. Some places will not let you travel if the expiration date is within one year of your trip.

Make two copies of your passports—one for yourself, and one to leave with someone at home.

Four Months Before:

Learn the Culture

Learn basic words and phrases of the foreign country.

Research any holidays that will be taking place during your stay.

Learn basic etiquette—how much to tip, modesty, and how to greet certain people.

Two Months Before:

Keep Safe

Inform your doctor of your travels, and check to see if there are any required vaccinations.

Pack enough of your medication to last your entire trip, plus a few extra days. Keep medicine in its original packaging.
